Senior Class History Bang! Bang! The C.H.S. Court will now come to order. Will the court please rise for the honorable Judge Jones, who will preside over this case. Let the records show on the 14th of May, 1968, that the Class of 1968 is on trial for their freedom. They have served 13 long years of hard labor at the C.H.S. Pen and are now pleading for a parole. Before Judge Jones calls the first witness will the defendants please rise! The court recognizes the ac- cused class of 1956, numbering 15. The instigators of crime were as follows, Robert Topinka, Billy Hilder- brand, Alen Gasda, Bob Douglas, Tom Bittinger, Doug Bolen, Tommy Swedenburg, David Morris, Jimmy Kluck, Janet Strobel, Nona Morgan, Kathy Spires, Rosetta Branting, and Mary Ann Cuba. Their warden this year was Mrs. Sherrill. Alen Gasda was transferred to the G.I. Pen in September and Robert Topinka went to the Columbus pen in February, Chuckie Fleeman and Marrianne Brunken jotned us as cell mates. Now to continue with the record for 1957. This year Mrs. Baird acted as our warden, with the iron ruled hand, she enrolled three new prisoners, who signed in as Ronald Herman, Judy Wieseman, and Johnny Beck. The days looked dimmer in the year 1958, for we were placed in solitary confinement in the old gym. Despite this hardship. Warden Mrs. Sloan enrolled five new inmates, Diane Van Pelt, Jerry Dittmer, Tommy Kohl, Gay Beck, and Shirley Heule. Transferred in December, Billy Hilderbrand went to York. The year 1959 brought the rock pile gang controlled by Mrs. Anderson. Two more cons arrive, Pat Wem- hoff and Charles Kennedy. In 1960 we moved up to better cell conditions, under Mrs. Ulferts, alias Miss Randall. To help us in our strive for freedom, Doug Glasgow aided us with his talents. The breezy year came in 1961, with Miss Zouch acting as our warden. We were slaving fifth gradeis when the parolee Doris Zlomke came in from Palmer. The hardships still came in 62” with our warden being Mrs. Strickland. We gained a new parolee by the name of Carol Kula and lost Chuck Fleeman. The seventh grade of 1963 was a tough year for the wardens. At the first of the year we had Mr. Bragg, but then lost him to gain Mrs. Shonsey. We added another tough character by the name of Kathy Hays. In 1964 in our eighth grade year we settled down having only one warden, Mr. Cash. We were then getting ready to move up to greener pastures. Our greener pastures came in 1956 when we moved to the top floor of the prison, this being our Freshman year. The warden sponsors were Mr. Dilges and Mr. Hoffman. Our Freshman class, or rather crew, numbered 24, we gained Kathy Kingma, Susan Brown, Allan Urkoski, Albin Ziemba, Darcey Butts, and Phil Kufeldt. We had only three losses, Tom Swedenburg, Doug Glasgow, and Gay Beck. The inmates voted on green and white as their cell colors. The white carnation was our flower with our motto being, What You Will Be You Are Now Becoming. Our prison representatives this year were: President, Bob Douglas, Vice President, Doris Zlomke, Secretary, Janet Strobel, Treasurer, Nona Morgan. Nineteen-hundred sixty-six, the year of the Sophomores, brought only one new warden, Mr. Conley, be- cause Sponsor Mr. Dilges stayed with us another year. We were lucky to lose only one parolee this year, Susan Brown. Again Chuck Fleeman was sent to the Clarks prison for a short sentence. This year the representatives were: Doug Bolen, President, Vice President, Chuck Fleeman; Secretary, Ron Herman; and Treasurer, Allan Urkoski. Time is growing short for our stay in the C.H.S. prison and leaves us with only one year remaining. Head wardens this year were Mr. Lanik and Mr. Ruben. Jerry Rowray came at the beginning of the year, but then was lost along with Doug Bolen at the close of the year. That year we ordered class rings from Herf Jones. Our Jun- ior Class Play was Brides to Burn, ” and the Junior Prom was Fairyland Romance. The whole year was a big success under the representation of President, Kathy Hays; Vice President, Diane Van Pelt; Secretary-Treasurer, • Doris Zlomke. At last we have reached our pardoning year. The first crisis came when the honorable Judge Jones and Mrs. Banks became our sponsors. This year the President was Darcy Butts; Vice President, Shirley Heule; Secretary- Treasurer, Kathy Kingma. Mug shots, or Senior portraits were taken by Lumbard-Leschinsky at Grand Island. The final presentation of the Seniors came with the production of The Campbells Are Coming and the Junior inmates honored us with their prom called, Roman Holiday. The great escape came the 24th day of April when we went to Chicago by way of train. The final phase of prison history came with Judge Jones granting the pardon of graduation. The Senior Class of 1968 on the day of pardon numbered 23.

Judy Wieseman is the happiest yet. She's just flown in, in her private jet. She makes lots of money and spends it, too She's just taken a trip to Kalamazoo. Here comes Tinker Tom, all happy and gay. He's become quite fat and his hair’s turned gray. He delivers more phones than Carter has pills. And he’s noted for collecting all his telephone bills. Squealing brakes have just been heard Jerry Dittmer just pulled up to the curb. Fixing cars is his life's ambition But darn, he's thrown another transmission. Here comes Kathy Hays all happy and merry, For she has been wed to handsome Jerry. Jerry has become an auto mechanic With eight little kids, Kath’s quite frantic. Why who's that who just walked in? Why it’s Diane Van Pelt, visiting her kin She runs a scraper for her dad. And the way she works, it's not so bad. Here comes Phil in his new G.. T.. O.. He has just been paroled you know. He is saving his money and become a miser. His brain has flipped, and he's become much wiser. Why who do we see? Why it's Albin Joe. He has his own carnival and burlesque show. His carnival, it is so funny. From it, you know he's made his money. Here comes Rosetts from J. F. K. She is now a member of the P. T. A. She's become a professional teacher, you see She teaches phys. ed. and also girls' glee. Janet Strobel, that likeable girl, She's just invented a new kind of curl. The Curl is called a New Kind of Flop , And we all know it’s found on top. Why who was that who just walked in? Why it was Bob Douglas, with a big double chin. He owns his own locker and grocery store, too He's taken up a new habit and he chews some, too. Why who’s that? Why it's Allan Urkoski, He's been taking lessons from Liberaci. He's on T. V. night and day, And he makes a good players pay. Here comes that flirtatious Shirley Heule She runs her own driving school She's still single, but still quite a sport Her trophies are many, we're glad to report. Kathy Kingma is so cheerful and gay, For she's awaiting her wedding day. Her and Galen are soon to be married. And across the threshhold she soon will be carried. Here comes Chuck that happy Marine His hair's turned gray but he's still quite lean He's been to Viet Nam and Thailand, too, And now he's on his way to Pem. Darcey Butts will soon be coming. He’s that gay professor humming. He's the top in all the state. And now he manufactures wooden crates. Who’s that girl with that beautiful tan? Why it's none other than Marrianne. Her work has taken her far and wide But now she's decided to stay on this side». Here's Carol Kula, she's happy as ever, For she operates an I. B.M. lever. She works hard day and night, Just to fill her own little plight. Who’s this? Why it's Ron Herman He's just come to give us our Sunday sermon While in school he was such a brat. But now he’s learned to tip his hat. Pat Wemhoff, one that we all know, Has just walked in with a broken toe. He thought he'd learn to water ski, But ended up running into a tree. Who's that girl so happy and gay? Why it's Sis Morgan, so they say Why she is known from coast to coast It's because she’s a model for the Evening Post. Why who's that standing straight and tall? Why it's Dave Morris who's in the hall. He's been in the Marines a many a year, And he's got a fat stomach from tredding over there.
